"constructor" property of function prototype objects does not show up in autocomplete suggestions #15199
Description
- Version: v7.10.0
- Platform: Linux x1 4.4.0-93-generic test-require-resolve: use case insensitive compare #116-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 11 21:17:51 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Example:
> function f() {}
> f.prototype.
f.prototype.__defineGetter__ f.prototype.__defineSetter__ f.prototype.__lookupGetter__
f.prototype.__lookupSetter__ f.prototype.__proto__ f.prototype.constructor
f.prototype.hasOwnProperty f.prototype.isPrototypeOf f.prototype.propertyIsEnumerable
f.prototype.toLocaleString f.prototype.toString f.prototype.valueOf
> Object.getOwnPropertyNames(f.prototype);
[ 'constructor' ]
In the example above it only shows the inherited "constructor" property from Object.prototype.
Non-enumerable properties of other objects show up, though.
Example:
> let o = {};
> Object.defineProperty(o, "firstName", {value: "ted"});
> o.
o.__defineGetter__ o.__defineSetter__ o.__lookupGetter__ o.__lookupSetter__
o.__proto__ o.constructor o.hasOwnProperty o.isPrototypeOf
o.propertyIsEnumerable o.toLocaleString o.toString o.valueOf
o.firstName

The constructor property you are seeing is an own property of
f.prototypethat points tofitself.targos commentedon Sep 5, 2017
This is a more general issue. Take this example:
Completion for
y.<tab><tab>:I would also expect
y.ato be next toy.cbecause the own property shadows the property on the prototype.targos commentedon Sep 5, 2017
@pretodor Not at all. I think it's a valid issue.
